How to grow arugula seeds for planting (10 grams)

1. Prepare a light, well-aerated potting mix. A mixture of ½ potting soil and ¼ fine sand can be combined with a small amount of balanced organic or NPK fertilizer.
2. Scatter the seeds on the surface of the soil, then cover them with a very light layer of soil no more than a quarter to 1 cm thick, because the seeds are small and need light to germinate.
3. Spray the soil with a light mist of water to maintain moisture without drowning the seeds.
4. The pot can be covered with a transparent lid to improve humidity and increase germination speed.
5. Place the pot in a warm, bright location, avoiding direct sunlight for the first week.

Watercress planting dates

• Watercress is grown in temperate climates, and it is best grown from August to February (autumn and winter).
• In areas with a temperate climate or in the shade during the summer, it can be grown year-round.

Irrigation and fertilization

Irrigation:

• Before germination: Keep the soil moist with a light mist daily.
• After germination: Water the plant when the surface of the soil is dry (about 2 cm from the surface), avoiding overwatering to prevent root rot.

Fertilization:

• 10-15 days old: Use a high-phosphorus fertilizer to strengthen the roots.
• 30-45 day old: Use a high nitrogen fertilizer to promote vegetative growth and leaf density.
• Preventive spraying: Micronized sulfur can be sprayed every 15 days to prevent fungal diseases such as powdery mildew.

When does the harvest take place?

Watercress leaves can be harvested when they reach about 10-15 cm in length, approximately 30-45 days after planting. Harvesting before flower buds appear is best for tender leaves with a distinctive flavor. The outer leaves can be harvested gradually, or the entire plant can be cut back to 2-3 cm from the soil surface to encourage regrowth.

Storage and preservation

Store the seeds in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight.

After harvesting, wash and thoroughly dry the leaves, then wrap them in a paper towel and place them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Watercress will stay fresh for 3-5 days.
